If you have been swayed by the argument put forth by the pro-slaughter groups that abuse and neglect of horses will increase, and that shipping horses to Mexico to be slaughtered - a much worse fate than slaughter in the US - will also greatly increase, please follow the link below to read this entire article.

An animal welfare group says claims that horses arefacing worse fates in Mexico and Canada since US slaughter ended are a"red herring" argument.

The Animal Welfare Institute says that now horse slaughter haseffectively ended in the United States, "the pro-horse slaughter campis claiming it was right about the need to keep slaughter an option inthe US." The AWI is actively working to pass the American HorseSlaughter Prevention Act into law.

"They say that our horses are facing a far worse fate in Mexico andCanada than they were when they could be slaughtered in America. Thisis yet another 'red-herring' argument advanced by the pro-horseslaughter side to distract humane Americans from the ultimate goal ofprotecting all American horses from slaughter via passage of theAmerican Horse Slaughter Prevention Act (S. 311/HR. 503). Thislegislation will end the slaughter of American horses here and theirexport for slaughter abroad," a spokesman said.
